With all due respect, you are not the first to brooch this topic nor do I believe that you will be the last; to my chagrin, I have worked this topic to death without good result. However, this thread has the potential to be controversial and does nothing but inflame folks on both sides of this topical fence; my experience has been that this is counterproductive for both SR and AA. The message of Hope is not dependent on the success rate in AA, but rather on the quality of message we each provide to the newcomer, to each other and to ourselves as we live a New Life. Of late, there has been far too little of that positive process that allows everyone to be who and what they truly. I have been far too intolerant in my life and have paid the price of a closed mind. Let’s find the similarities that allow us to come together without the rigidity of personal expectations that only divide us.

I am sure you have best intentions; I simply see the possibility for division. Best to you.
